NBD! G&L Kiloton Fretless (Sunburst)

Looks wonderful but you lost me at “atrocity”

 

Ah. Makes more sense because it looks awesome and probably sounds great!

 

Somebody finally bought it! . I had this bass in my cart on Reverb about 14 times lol. If it's that bass, which it looks like it is. I think you'll love it, G&L makes a superb instrument! Enjoy!

Very pretty! Congratulations! The more I read about these the more I like them. Passive, correct? Very cool. Play it in good health!

 

That is a rare G&L fretless with what I think is a rosewood fingerboard. They usually are ebony.

 

If that's the one I almost bought, it's a chechan rosewood board. Which is what I believe is on my jaco also....

PS: I stand corrected: the jaco's fingerboard is Pao Ferro....

But the only reason I didn't pull the trigger on this one was it was a 5 string. And I know my arms eventually rebel when I play anything thicker than a 4 string and it starts sitting on the stand all the time.... but looks it went to a good home after all .

You say it’s dense wood; is it hard like ebony?

 

So is it bare wood? I couldn't tell if it had a finish on it or if it was completely bare....

Pure delight but I wonder why not the 3+2 headstock a la 2500...

 

G&L's 4+1 headstock looks way better than their 3+2, in my opinion. A Fender-style 3+2 usually doesn't appeal to me... although Lakland's wasn't bad.

 

Dang!
I'm sure your mom and grandma are worth celebrating and all, but that bass is really cool. Speaker on the porch, turn to 11 so we can all hear it. Mwaaaahhhhh.

 

I don't like the post-lawsuit G&L headstock in general, with that pointy thing they added. I guess the 3+2 softens it to my eyes by making it appear... more symmetrical maybe?
